“What about in Hong Kong where they made it so that the leaders are no longer publicly elected? What about Tiannenmen Square were hundreds of people were killed for protesting the Dengist regime? What about how China’s internet is blocked by a firewall meaning you cannot search for various things the government doesn’t want you to search for? What about how journalists punish foreign journalists by removing their press credentials when they say something critical of the government’s policies? What about when in 2019 the All China Journalists Association updated its code of ethics saying that they have to take an exam proving that they are guided by Xi Jinping thought”

How would you counter these statements?

    “How would you counter these statements?”

    Easy, just replace China with Taiwan. Taiwan is a wonderful nation completely separate from China. They’re a great country a.k.a. INDEPENDENT NATION STATE. I love the country of Taiwan. That’s what it is. A country. Not part of China at all :)
